Round 5 results posted.

holy moly! You made fast work out of what must've been a messy file.

Sorry for the extra work that we left for whoever put it in -- Rachel or I had not seen the process of entering additional drivers, so there were a few extra blank names from our work group.

[MattR]

Holy Crap, today is definitely a drop for me, I struggled to find speed today, and coned away a decent 40.8,,,It's amazing how much the drive ability changed by turning it around..wow. At least Kevin M couldn't capitalize on my poo day. Man, what a scrap at the top of the PAX standings...hahaha 6 familiar names and all Subarus, Cody, you are a machine. wow

[Kevin M]

I couldn't figure out how to drive on a clean tarmac surface today. coned away my first 4 runs, and had to be conservative on the 5th.

I got a chuckle though at how you took over PAX lead on a day you took a drop! I'm going to thoroughly enjoy seeing PAX come down to the last event though. Hasn't been a lot of drama in that the last few seasons!

Thanks, I definitely had a good weekend. But I'm far from a machine. I just bust out one of my miracle runs every once in a while.

On Saturday you annihilated everyone. Congrats on top pax and top raw.

I struggled with grip (and spool) on Saturday, but on Sunday, the grip was so much better, especially in the morning, oddly enough.

[A1337STI]

Cody your miracle runs are starting to become your norm! Great job this weekend nice pax win sunday!

Tie for first place wow!

[WRXlerate]

Cody, you're fired. I wasn't even running on saturday but somehow ended up covering the waivers for a while in the AM. I'll be hitting you up for a beer at the next meet I make it to

[cody]

Hit Alex up for that beer. I told him to register for waivers and make sure Sylvio had plenty of time to walk, register, and prep his car...but he plain forgot...which I imagine is why you had to help out Sylvio. Thank you for helping out though. I wish I was fired.

Big thanks to Sylvio for covering me several times throughout the weekend, even when he wasn't signed up to work waivers.

The next event is in two weekends. Anyone who can help me out, especially Saturday and Sunday mornings, I'd appreciate it. Shoot me a PM. It's definitely better than shagging cones.

For Saturday, ideally you'd be running RNP, Novice, or in the Yellow Group so that one us of can "work" while the other "runs" in the morning.

On Sunday, I could use a couple people of any morning rungroup (idealy oposite run groups) to cover me in the morning (and one in the afternoon) so I don't have to show up on Sunday morning when I can't run.

BTW, Kevin W. wins the award for best burn of the weekend. I told him he couldn't leave because he had to shag cones (jokingly), and without missing a beat he replied, "I'll shag your FACE!"

If it makes you feel any better, it was GREATLY appreciated that you helped cover a station, on a day that you DIDN'T RUN!

[WRXlerate]

I didn't mind, just after reading all of the discussion on the topic I had to give Cody a bad time. It was a pita on saturday because of all the hangar traffic. Hell, I wish I would have ran that morning, I could have possibly gotten out of shaggin cones!!

[A1337STI]

Yes hit me up for beer, just as long as i see you out at reno rally this weekend. We still need volunteers, both friday night and Saturday. Yes i know there's a track day but there's also a Rally .. with like subarus, on dirt, *SFI Firesuit on *

Even though Cody seems to have forgotten already, I covered him Sunday morning so he could walk the course before running (and go on to win PAX OA) . I also gave him some rides during my Run For Points on Saturday for some rides on Sunday, to which he tells me "What are you talking about? Well i just promised my first two rides away!"

Its nice to be remembered

He did remember shortly after me walking up for a ride, and hooked me up for a ride in group 4 (he was RNP)

Funny times, and i let Vic drive my car for Vic's 5th run (and his fastest)

feels like i am really really hurt myself this weekend in pax standings by helping out others.. If i end up a point or two out of a higher position not only will be able to blame myself (for not driving faster) i'll be able to blame myself for being too helpful

[cody]

Alex, I'm not seeing where I failed to remember you. I'm sorry you assumed that I'd give you a ride on Sunday morning. Frankly getting a ride right before your first "Run for Points" run in the afternoon was probably more helpful to you, and giving rides to people who were actually running in the same rungroup as me seemed to make more sense, call me crazy. You were out of sight and out of mind as I prepared for my first run and a couple people asked me for rides...

And what does any of this have to do with the fact that you completely flaked on Sylvio by not working the station you agreed to work?

Well before you hopped in my car Saturday you said i could get a ride or two with you on Sunday. I didn't know if you were going to RNP Sunday afternoon. Not knowing you were going to RNP in the afternoon of course i came over in the morning. It was actually pretty humorous how surprised you looked that i wanted a ride.


"Even though Cody seems to have forgotten already" Comment. what i specifically meant was that I
helped you out by covering so you could walk the course. and Honestly i felt a bit hurt reading you calling me out instead of any mention that did cover for you and that i tried helping out, (beyond just shagging cones in my assigned worker station)

Completely logical yes,

1) WTF? 2) nothing.

When did i promise to Silvio i was working his station? Friday night as i was drinking beers at your house did i say something about Trying to cover him? and then i signed up for Cone shagging instead of waivers? seems like it ...

LoL how did this become a "Alex ditched on a promise to silvio" issue?

Silvio did i ever promise you i was working a shift for you? I'm confused.

Please post up or PM me if so. If that's actually the case you should post up, i deserve it then??

my Bad ... ??

[cody]

You didn't make any promises to Sylvio, you just told me that you'd work waivers on Saturday morning and I gave you all of the details including what time you should be there by etc. It's really not a big deal. If it were, Registration would be trying much harder to sign up people to work waivers.

I PM'd you. Let's continue this conversation via PM, please.

[MPREZIV]

I like auto-cross!

Ok, I won't say anything next time, didn't mean to start a fire

I like auto cross too

[A1337STI]

Ya autoX is pretty cool, but what's with all the cones ?

/Sarcasm

I wonder if vic is gonna get new tires and an alignment now that i gave away my 'secrets' to him

Course 1/8 toe out rear probably isn't very appealing to people who commute on their car much

[szucchet]

I going to try to make it this weekend, I think I might run bsp saturday and sm sunday. who's all coming out this weekend?

[Kevin M]

Awesome. Is there any way I can talk you into running BSP against Matt again?

[WRXlerate]

I am planning to make it out on sunday, in the wagon. Hoping to have new sways installed before then.

[cody]

I'll be there both days. I can harldy wait.

Bump for volunteers.

I will not be there.
